Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry
Key Fob In Vehicle:
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
lo

cking a Passive Entry key fob inside your
vehicle, the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock feature which
will function if the ignition is OFF.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the
ve
hicle is locked with a door panel switch, key
fob button or door handle button, once all open
doors have been closed the vehicle checks the
inside and outside of the vehicle for any valid
Passive Entry key fobs. If one of the vehicle's
Passive Entry key fobs is detected inside the
vehicle, and no other valid Passive Entry key
fobs are detected outside the vehicle, the
Passive Entry system automatically unlocks all
vehicle doors and chirps the horn three times
(on the third attempt, ALL doors will lock and the
Passive Entry key fob can be locked in the
vehicle).
To Enter The Liftgate:
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
( 1

.5 m) of the liftgate, push the button
u n

derneath the left side of the accent bar,
which is located on the liftgate below the glass,
to lock or unlock the vehicle.

This is done to allow you to check if the vehicle is
locked by pulling the door handle, without the
vehicle reacting and unlocking.
If Passive Entry is disabled using Uconnect
System, the key protection described in
"Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry
Key Fob In Vehicle" remains active/functional.

The Passive Entry system will not operate if
the key fob battery is depleted.

WIND BUFFETING

Wind buffeting can be described as the perception
of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in
the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting
with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped)
in certain open or partially open positions. This is a
normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the
buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, open
the front and rear windows together to minimize the
buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof
open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.

POWER SUNROOF — IF EQUIPPED
The power sunroof switch is located between
the sun visors on the overhead console.

WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. Never leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. Do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go
in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants,
particularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the power sunroof
while operating the power sunroof switch.
Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of being
thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof.
You could also be seriously injured or killed.
Always fasten your seat belt properly and
make sure all passengers are also properly
secured.

Programming A Rolling Code
For programming garage door openers that
were manufactured after 1995:
These garage door openers can be identified by
th

e “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where
the hanging antenna is attached to the garage
door opener. It is NOT the button that is
normally used to open and close the door.
The name and color of the button may vary by
m a

nufacturer.

Training The Garage Door Opener
1. P
lace the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

N

HomeLink® with the engine ON that your
vehicle is outside of your garage, or that the
garage door remains open at all times.
2. P lace the hand-held transmitter 1 to
3
inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the
H o

light in view.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink® button you w
ant to program while you push and hold
the hand-held transmitter button.

4. C ontinue to hold both buttons and observe
t
he indicator light. The HomeLink® indicator

HomeLink® has received the frequency
signal from the hand-held transmitter.
Release both buttons after the indicator light
changes from slow to rapid.

5. A t the garage door opener (in the garage),
